Lives of church heroes subject of video series

A dramatized video series showing the contributions of Christian leaders during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th and 17th centuries will focus this week on Martin Luther.

The program begins at 3:45 p.m. April 18 in Waynesboro Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1 State Hill Road.

Luther was perhaps best known of all Protestant reformers for nailing his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg, Germany, on Oct. 31, 1517; for leading the reformation in Germany; and for founding the Lutheran church. This film depicts the famous monk and the forces at work in his society that resulted in his reforming efforts that changed the course of Western history as well.

Future films will focus on William Tyndale (May 2), The Anabaptists (May 16), and William Miller (May 30), all to begin at 6:30 p.m. in the church.
